You can define the required properties for a page. These can vary depending on the nature of the page; e.g. involved in a live copy, etc.
-
Tags
Here you can add, or remove tags from the page by updating the list in the selection box:
- After selecting a tag is it listed below the selection box. You can remove a tag from this list using the x.
- A completely new tag can be entered by typing the name in an empty selection box.
The new tag will actually be created when you hit enter. The new tag will then be shown in a box, with a small star on the right indicating that it is a new tag. - With the drop-down functionality you can select from existing tags.
- An x appears when you mouse-over a tag entry in the selection box; this can be used to remove that tag for this page.
-
Vanity URL
Allows you to enter a vanity URL for this page. That allows you to have a shorter and more expressive URL.
For example, if the Vanity URL is set to welcome to the page identified by the path /v1.0/startpage for the website http://example.com, then http://example.com/welcome would be the vanity URL of http://example.com/content/v1.0/startpage
Caution:
Vanity URLs:
- must be unique so you should take care that the value is not already used by another page.
- do not support regex patterns.
-
Design
Indicate the design to be used for this page.
-
Allowed Templates
Define the list of templates that will be available within this sub-branch.
-
Enable Closed User Group
Enables (or disables) use of closed user groups (CUGs).
-
Cloud Services
Define properties for cloud services.
-
Personalization
Select a Brand to specify a scope for Targeting.
-
Blueprint
Define properties for a Blueprint page within multi-site management. Controls the circumstances under which modifications will be propagated to the Live Copy.
-
Livecopy
Define properties for a Live Copy page within multi-site management. Controls the circumstances under which modifications will be propagated from the Blueprint.
- Provide links to pages that provide site-wide functionality, such as Signup Page, Offline Page, amongst others.
You can define page properties:
- from the Sites console:
- creating a new page (a subset of the properties)
- using View Properties (then Edit)
- for a single page
- for multiple pages (a subset of the properties)
- creating a new page (a subset of the properties)
- from the page editor:
- using Page Information (then Edit Page Properties)
From the Sites console you can select several pages then use View Properties to view and/or edit the page properties - this is referred to as bulk editing of page properties.
Note:
Bulk editing of properties is also available for Assets. It is very similar, but differs in a few points. See Editing Properties of Multiple Assets for full information.
There is also the Bulk Editor, this allows you to search for content from multiple pages using GQL (Google Query Language), then edit the content directly in the bulk editor before saving your changes (to the originating pages).
You can select multiple pages for bulk editing by various methods, including:
- When browsing the Sites console
- After using Search to locate a set of pages
You can only bulk edit pages that:
- Share the same resource type
- Are not part of a livecopy
If any of the pages are in a live copy then a message will be shown when the properties are opened.
-
When viewing Page Properties for multiple pages you can see:
- A list of the pages impacted
- You can select/deselect if required
- Tabs
- As when viewing properties for a single page, the properties are ordered under tabs.
- A subset of properties
- Properties that are available on all selected pages - and have been explicitly defined as available to bulk editing - are visible.
- If you reduce the page selection to one page, then all properties are visible.
- Properties that are available on all selected pages - and have been explicitly defined as available to bulk editing - are visible.
- Common properties with a common value
- Only properties with a common value are shown in View mode.
- When the field is multi-value (for example, Tags), values will only be shown when all are common. If only some are common, they will only be shown when editing.
When no properties with a common value exist, a message is displayed; for example, the Advanced tab:
- A list of the pages impacted
-
When editing Page Properties for multiple pages:
- You can update the values in the fields available.
- The new values will be applied to all selected pages when you select Done.
- When the field is multi-value (for example, Tags), you can either append a new value or remove a common value.
- Fields that are common, but have different values across the various pages will be indicated with a special value; for example, the text <Mixed Entries>. Care should be taken when editing such fields to prevent data loss.
- You can update the values in the fields available.
Note:
The page component can be configured to specify the fields available for bulk editing. See Configuring your page for bulk editing of page properties.
